Mariah Carey's complete style transformation

There's no denying the "We Belong Together" hitmaker loves being in the spotlight, and that also includes any red carpet she appears on. The songstress' style has transformed over the years, but it's safe to say that she stays true to her sexy aesthetic, opting for curve-hugging, skin-baring ensembles.

Mariah rocked bras as tops and bodycon dresses long before Kim Kardashian (sorry Kim!). And let's be real, it was probably Mariah who coined the term sexy LBD after hitting numerous red carpets through the years in one form-fitting black dress after another.

From the Grammys to the Cannes Film Festival, there's no red carpet that Mariah hasn't stolen the show on.

One of her most memorable looks of all time may have to be the plunging Herve Leger by Maz Azaria gown she wore at the 67th Annual Golden Globes. The singer looked like a total stunner in the figure-flattering black dress that also showcased some cleavage.
